More to be grateful for

As I continue to practice gratitude, in the hopes that it will drive more towards me, I wanted to take a minute to reflect on some of the good things to come my way this week:

- I found an old gift card for a restaurant yesterday, when I was cleaning out the kitchen. I had no idea what was left on it, if anything. Today, we ended up at this same restaurant for lunch with the kids and friends. I gave the girl the card, asking her to just check and see if anything was left on it. Sure enough, all I paid for lunch for the 4 of us was $1.07. Score!

- I don't normally enjoy grocery shopping. So today, I was grateful for a good grocery experience BEFORE I even went. Sure enough, at Walmart, I got into a line with only one person in front of me (who was paying as I got in line, so NO wait), which is unheard of when I normally go. Also, I had wanted to get everything on my list for less than $150. My final total was $140.77. :)

-Yesterday, our neighbours brought us a plate of home made cupcakes and icing, complete with sprinkles. Just because. The kids were thrilled!

- I finally hit 40 lbs in my weight loss journey. It seems like it took forever, but in reality, it's been just under 3 months.

I know there was more, but it's slipping my mind now. I need to be more diligent in writing stuff down, so that I can marvel and be amazed at how cool this stuff is! :)

Join the club! Come on, show me the love!!

About Me

I love my husband, and crazy about my son and daughter.
I work in the corporate world, but it makes me crazy, because I dream about small towns, and open fields. I have a work face and a home face. I am trying to leave the work face there more often, but it's hard.
I knit, because I love it and my Grandma taught me to. I miss her every day. I get tattoos, because I love it and it drives my dad crazy.
I like blood and gore and horror movies. I read, and create as often as I can. I talk about autism alot, but only because I am living that life.
